I am having problems with my transmission on my Z. Especially going from 1st to 2nd.

I went to the dealer and talk to guys at Nissan Consumer Affair and they are going to order me new transmission

Those of you who had their transmission replace, Are you still having problems?

I am afraid that the new transmission will have the same problems too.

If you had your transmission replace, Please reply & give me a input.

I would like the following information.

1. when your car was built?

2. when did you replace your transmission?

3. What was your mileage and the time of replacement?

4. How many time did you replace the transmission?

Thanks.

 

I beleive that l noone has responed to this thread because there are so many threads on the z transmission out there, I actually stopped posting to all of thenm and am just following 1 thread at this time. but here is my history with the z. cut and pasted from other thread

"O.K. I will keep this short if I can. I do not know my vin, but I bought one of the first my dealer sold. Purchased last oct 30th. First tranny replace at 5k miles, second tranny replaced aprox 11,500 miles. 3rd tranny,(btw both tranny's experiaced 3rd gear grind) So the 3rd tranny is experiancing a problem with 5th gear, no grinding, but once engaged and doing approv 4000 -5000 rpm's the tranny will literally come out of gear. I recently took the car to fl for a week, and after excelerating in fifth, I would let off the gas, a couple of time I hit a bump, and the car popped out of gear. Forget driving dpwn the rode and resting your hand on the shifter, guarentee to pop out with out any effort.


SO I now have an open case with the BBB and am moving towards arbitration with nissan to replace the car. I drop the car off at the dealer this coming tuesday and leave it with the arbitrator from nissan to drive. Wish me luck. I love the car, but enough is enough, aside from the tranny issues, I have had it in for Grease windows, Tire feathering, Squeaking brakes, Clicking from rearend. All in all I just want the car replaced. I do drive the car hard, but no harder then I have driven all my mustangs.

No burnouts, or anything like that, just a very agressive driver, and the car should be able to handle it.

well thanks for listening."

So I took the car to the dealer this tuesday and the factory rep drove it and agreed with me that there is a problem with 5th gear. He said that there is an adjustment that can be made once the tranny in in place that will set the sifter deeper in the gear, he beleive that most of these cases are that the shifter in not seated all the way in which in turn will eventually burn out the syncros. so they are ordering me another tranny (4th counting the original) and I am going to persue that Nissan replaces the car. as stated earlier I love the car, but feel it is time ofr nissan to step up to hte plate and deliver the goods. If you are interested in following the my woes, look for a thread 'Who has second tranny replaced.
